A Nashville lady dreamed one night re
Gently that her old school friend. whose
bridesmaid she had been at her wedding TO
n Nirgnian planter year before, had died
suddenly and that she was present at the
funeral The lady related her dream to
her family, and refused to be convinced
that it was not premonition of death A
week later delayed letter reached the la
dy informing her that her friend had died
at about the same time of the occurrence of
the dream.
A Confederate veteran related in Ameri-
Gus, Ga, the other day a strange coinci-
dence that attended the death Of Captain
Wynn, a gallant Georgian, who was killed
at Gettysburg. The captain had frequent
ly boasted that 'the bullet was not nodded
that was to lay him low but on the day Of
the fight his wife was startled TO see the oil
portrait of her husband fall with crash to
the floor from the wall on which it hung in
her parlor. Singularly enough, the only
damage done to the picture was in the
shape of a small hole which was punctured
through the forehead by a chair foot which
the painting struck in its fall. Two days
later news came from the field that the cap
tain had been killed by a rifle bullet which
had struck him square in the forehead
LOUISA beHn, Jne uhugnJer OF laDOfef
in Wednesburg, Eng, made up her mind
to emigrate to Australia, and gained the
consent of her parents. Just before she
was to sail, however, her mother dreamed
that the ship which was to carry her daugh-
ter struck a rock near the Australian coast
and went down with great loss of life. She
succeeded in dissuading Louisa from going,
but not until the girls baggage had been
placed on board the vessel and every prep
aration made for her departure. The ship
went down, as Mrs. Benn had imagined It
would, and among the lives lost were those
of several girls who were to have been

The Formulation of Cbiua.

There is no disputing the fact that the
means existing in China for arriving at an
accurate census are most ample. Every
house must have a list of its inmates hung
at its door, and violation of this is visited
with punishment. The taxes are based in
part upon the numbers of the people. The
census of 1875 gave the population of the
empire at 35,O0O,000, Since that time
Tonquin has been lost with several million
people, and Kashgaria has been reconquer
ed. Among no other people with any de-
gree of civilization is the birth-rate so high
as in China, and although the death-rate in
the densely crowded districts is very great,
there is every reason to presume that there
are now 450 900, 900 in China These fig
ures represent more than one-third of the
population of the globe. 1t is greater
population than that of all Europe, and
three times the number of people ON the
western continent Even at these enor-
nous figures the average number of people
TO the square mile for the whole empire
Sis not so high as in some parts of the
United States. The villages there are al
most beyond enumeration, and the num-
bers Of walled cities incredible to those
who have not seen them. In the two Kiang
provinces at the mouth of the Yangtz river,
with an area Of 10000 square miles, the
